There is no need to set skb flags that have no purpose within the stack. Nobody is demanding software time stamps from any DSA devices yet, and so I don't see the point in solving a problem that doesn't exist. I'm sorry if the "rules" are not clear, but if you look around the kernel internals, you will be hard pressed to find perfectly documented rules anywhere! Thanks, Richard
